1st grade Piet Mondrian- inspired imaginary creatures

First grade students first identified the different types of lines, colors and shapes found in 'Mondrian's artwork 

Then students used geometric shapes, organic shapes and lines to create some kind of creature from their imagination. 

Students then added vertical and horizontal lines like those find in Mondrian's art. Finally they learned about primary colors which Mondrian used in his artwork. They used watercolors to paint their animals using the primary colors.
